I am John of the Cross A murderous man Roaming this land I k** all I can A k**er for the love of k**ing And blood shall fill this land Built my throne Out of d**h and bone Swear to god no man shall stand Riders yeah black riders Everybody dies tonight These are days of hate and crime And the law is going blind We live and die in sin And the villains win yeah Riders yeah black riders Everybody dies tonight I am John of the cross k**er of man Shot Jacobs wife And burned up his land A simple man, Jacob farmer Till the day fate changed his life He rode out that night with her blood on his mind Swore to k** that goddamned man These are days of hate and crime And the law is going blind We live and die in sin To k** again And he found him five days out In the canyons of the sun And he called the ba*tard out And drew his gun Never had a chance to move his head Shot twice in the head k**er fell straight to hell Jacob shot the ba*tard dead John of the cross o John of the cross
